The respected Automotive News suggested this and all heck broke loose. Here on TreeHugger we do have a tendency to complain about big gas guzzlers and talk a lot about the safety of people who walk and bike. I have even called for a slow car movement so that we could all drive little fuel efficient Isetta-style cars. I worry about drivers behind the wheel of Fast and Furious cars; they often don’t know how to handle them....
Our always-on devices turn out to consume a lot of power. Do I really need to connect my garage door to the Internet? A few years ago I called Sanctuary Magazine “the best green shelter magazine available anywhere” (it still is). But Australia’s Alternative Technology Association has also published the much more hardcore Renew Magazine for 40 years. When I started reading it I could barely understand it and complained it was for nerds, but either I have finally started learning what this stuff is all about or it has become more user-friendly....
Tom Holland’s third Spider-Man film was finally given an official title last month. Spider-Man: No Way Home started filming back in October 2020 and is set to release in theaters on December 17, 2021. Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon will all return to round out Jon Watt’s Spider-Man trilogy. As much as this will be a conclusion to the first MCU Spider-Man trilogy, rumors and reports indicate this film will have a multiverse presence....
Even through a worldwide pandemic, Marvel Studios has been as vigilant as ever in regards to looking for new faces and talent to helm and star in a number of upcoming projects. Especially behind the scenes, the MCU has a reputation for turning unknown or upcoming directors into some of the biggest names in the entire movie industry (see Jon Favreau, the Russo Brothers, etc.). With over a dozen new projects on the way for Phase 4 in theaters and on Disney+, most of them in the earliest stages of production, Marvel Chief Content Officer Kevin Feige and his team have their work cut out for them to find the best of the best to bring these new projects up to the MCU standard....
Tom Hiddleston’s Loki started off his MCU journey as the puppet of Thanos and a villain to the Avengers. Over the years since, the Asgardian God of Mischief went through a powerful redemption arc, only to meet his demise in an attempt to slay the Mad Titan in Avengers: Infinity War. Thankfully for fans of the mischievous character, recent time travel antics opened the doors to his return, as a pre-redemption 2012 Variant of Loki recently led his own Disney+ spin-off....
With news that Southwest is allowing mini horses on flights, here’s what to know about these petite equine wonders. There has been a lot of news about pets on airline flights lately, so when Southwest Airlines recently updated their statement about traveling with animals, it didn’t comes as much of a surprise. However, there was something in there that I wasn’t expecting. From the statement. Am I the last person to know that there are...
Tossing that plastic water bottle in the blue bin? Good for you. Just don’t forget the cap. Because, according to new guidance from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), caps and bottles not only get along just fine in the same bin, there’s a big demand for both. What’s this, you say? Mom told you to separate the caps from the bottles! Well, let’s face it. Mom was probably willing to work a little harder to recycle than today’s easy-peasy youth....
Over the last few weeks, loads of information has come out regarding next year’s highly anticipated release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League on HBO Max. From teasing the arrival of new villains like Jared Leto’s Joker and Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke to teasing unknown Easter Eggs about other Kryptonians on Earth and DC’s Watchmen in this expansive franchise, this new vision of the 2017 theatrical flop is already set to be one of the most rich and full projects to ever come out of the DCEU, even if it doesn’t end up being canon....
The word “artisanal” gets a lot of play these days — code for the recent explosion of hipster-created small-batch specialty foods, craft whiskey, hand-forged earrings and repurposed wood furniture. For many, it’s a delightful trend harkening back to a simpler time when woodworkers, silversmiths and other artisans made a good living crafting one-of-a-kind items by hand, people shopped locally and food came from the farmer next door or your own garden....
After a successful theatrical run, the hype for Spider-Man: No Way Home is far from over. The Tom Holland-led threequel is set to be released again in theaters, with Sony Pictures labeling it as the More Fun Stuff Version.The upcoming extended cut is confirmed to have 11 minutes of additional footage, meaning that fans will potentially witness more screen time for Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s respective Spider-Men.

The DC Extended Universe has plenty of exciting additions planned for the next couple of years, which Warner Bros. hopes will bring a much more favorable sentiment toward the franchise than films from recent memory. Included in this group is Jason Momoa’s Aquaman 2, which will look to follow up on the success of the DCEU’s highest-grossing movie to date. Momoa will return to embody the King of Atlantis for his fourth appearance in the DCEU after the hero enjoyed his extended run in Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max....
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania director Peyton Reed gave fans a hint of where Cassie Lang is in her MCU journey as Kathryn Newton takes over the role.Newton is set to make her MCU debut in Ant-Man 3 as a more grown-up version of Scott Lang’s daughter, Cassie, who’s played a key role in both prior movies as Scott found his way as a hero and a father. Initially played by young actress Abby Ryder Fortson in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, the role was then aged up by five years as Emma Furhman played the role in Avengers: Endgame, although the Newton recast was announced in late 2020 for the threequel....
The Arrowverse has been home to many villains, including Jon Cryer’s Lex Luther in Supergirl—but now, the big bad is getting a new actor to debut in DC’s Superman & Lois.While the characters of the hit show were once part of the Arrowverse, the series was recently retconned to exist in its own separate reality. The move makes sense, given that most of the other CW shows have ended, with The Flash being the last to retire next year....
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is inching closer to its premiere, and marketing has been ramping up in the past weeks. The final trailer showcased tons of new footage for the MCU sequel, revealing special looks at its massive cast and the war between Wakanda and Namor’s nation of Talocan. Marvel Studios VP of Production & Development Nate Moore even compared the events of Wakanda Forever to those of 1972’s cinematic classic The Godfather, noting that the movie has “a little bit of a mob feel” to it with two families going to war with one another....
Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison has got to be one of the luckiest actors in all of Hollywood. When he boarded Attack of the Clones in 2002, little did he know that his role as Jango Fett would go on to put him in a unique spot; the man is set for life when it comes to acting—and it only just truly picked up thanks to The Mandalorian.Sure, then it was just Jango Fett....
Captain Marvel wasn’t received all that well when it was released in 2019, which led to Brie Larson getting a lot of unnecessary hate online because of it. Thankfully, Larson will be getting another go-round with the character––only this time, things won’t be rushed by being in production with the biggest film of all time simultaneously. So that’s good.Carol Danvers’ sequel won’t just focus on her though. Coming along for the ride are Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau and Iman Vallani’s Kamala Khan, aka Ms....

In the off chance that you enjoy hauling around utilitarian shopping bags to fancy functions, luxury fashion designer Balenciaga has released an upscale version of IKEA’s iconic Frakta bag – you know, the bright blue one with double yellow-and-blue straps that flops open and is too heavy to lift when it’s full....
Wood stoves are a hot topic on TreeHugger; readers were incensed when we covered a very green house in the country that had one, and were not particularly happy with the post I wrote in response. So it is with some trepidation that we show this very interesting stove from Japan that just won a Japan Good Design Award. © AGNI Hutte via Designboom The designer of the AGNI Hutte stove tells Designboom that “the use of wooden stoves is preferable to other gas heating equipment during earthquakes, typhoons, or other natural disasters....
Yes! But only if they were properly defrosted in the first place – which we explain in detail. Growing up as a well intentioned but spoiled fresh-food snob in the land of fresh food itself, Southern California, I routinely dismissed the appliance known as a freezer. Ah, the luxury of youthful naivete – now that I understand the magic that the freezer performs, I wouldn’t want to live without one. It adds convenience, yes, but most importantly it allows us to cut down on food waste dramatically....
Even Amnesty International is weighing in about the way the Alberta government is going after environmentalists. In a recent statement, the International Energy Agency noted that “a growing surplus in the oil market next year will push prices lower.” As this is being written, the benchmark Brent Crude is $59. According to the Financial Times: “While the relentless stock builds we have seen since early 2018 have halted, this is temporary,” the IEA said....
